OK….so its a black tea either that or aged black/puerh + jasmine…? no? yes? I’ll classify it as an RTD puerh.

Smells a little of jasmine but doesnt carry into taste (a little… but its very faded),

Taste: some roasted sensation…either roasted corn…maybe barley-like?. Aftertaste sorta seems to remind of (shu) pu-erh… but its faded. There is some medicinal flavor(more apparent when the tea is cold). But flavors blend pretty well together and has an interesting profile (except for the medicinal part). Didnt notice any unpleasant astringency/biterness (or i forgot).

Overall: Not bad, its different, @ 2$ on the expensive side. of a 0.5L bottle. Get again: YES.

Didnt know what solomons seal was when i got the tea. it is a plant root that has different uses.

Teabag contains a rather small amount of ‘tea’ powder, not sure if enough for 1 cup, but i put it in boiling ~ 9oz water.

Infusion: smells like food, some sort of a baked …pastry? concoction… nutty.

Taste: flavor 2.5/7 watery, tastes like it smells, not very bad. kinda like barley tea somewhere in the same neighborhood, but i think it reminds me more of food than does barley tea which remains in the beverage ‘feel’.

I love tea. These are my “tasting notes”, organized by type. Some have pictures (usually of tea… :D). “tea“ = alternative/original/westernized name VAR = varieties of that tea(tea) = additional varieties ^ = link to infoThank you for visiting, enjoy…
